sanhas Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 May I know which lps loves a strong current? Wish to place a couple of lps about 1 ft away from the wavemaker. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planted Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I felt it's quite subjective. Some corals suppose to have strong current decided to like moderate current. I had gradually adjusted to ensure all is fine in my tank. Let's hear out. And by strong, how strong are you referring? The flowrate and tank size give a better gauge?

sanhas Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks for the input. My tank is 4ft and I intend to place a Coral or two at around about 1 ft away from the wave maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiraltian Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Star polyps r not exactly lps. They r considered soft corals. Dun think any lps can take direct blast from wm.

Shawn Chua Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My opinion hammer coral. In my tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planted Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hope TS found his corals. Try explore lfs and see those lps that they place near the wavemaker or the outlet flow. Check flowrate and see if yours similar. If so and those corals are opening, you may consider ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member domvonn Posted August 19, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted August 19, 2014 I think Duncans seems to like flow but not direct blasting .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CestTresBon Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Have a ducan coral too and its doing well in high flow. Torch don't seems to do good in High flow. That's for my case hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planted Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have 1 torch not under high current doing well, I have another torch under high current doing fine (still extended out). depends on coral itself. Some people like fan, some like air con. ^^ try and test out will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member clownfish_forever Posted August 23, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted August 23, 2014 Based on personal experience, hammer, torch and frogspawn can do well under moderate to strong flow but not under direct blast.. I have hammer and frogspawn within 1 feet of my wave maker before but they are of lower position so they enjoy the under drift current caused by the wave maker.

taufiq85 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It depends on ur wm also....jebao wm usually has a narrow stream flow whereas mp has a wider stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin81 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Taufiq85 is correct also depends onw your wavemaker size.. 4ft.. sound like a big wavemaker. I place my duncan near my wavemaker but my tunze 6095 running on 18w only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
